In the last few years, actor Joshua Leonard has become the go to actor for indie filmmakers, particularly the likes of Lynn Shelton who cast Leonard in her movie Humpday, which has spiraled into quite an amazing new chapter in Leonard’s career.
Leonard appears in two movies at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival: Treatment, a comedy he stars in along with Sean Nelson, who also wrote and co-directed the film with Steven Schardt, the two of them playing screenwriters who get the crazy idea of sending Leonard into rehab to get close to a superstar actor Gregg D, played by Ross Partridge; and Vera Farmiga’s Higher Ground, a film that is highly raved about at the Sundance Film Festival this year.
The film, “Treatment” continues at the Tribeca Film Festival with one final screening on Friday, April 29 at 4PM, and “Higher Ground” plays again also on Friday at 2:30PM.
